10", my two got to 14" inches in a year. Fastest growing fish I ever had.


on pellets, algae and grapes, my 3 smallest pacu's hit maybe 10-11" in a year. im sure they can grow much faster if you feed them like complete pigs
 
I had 4 Pacu in a 250 gal with 3 red bellied pirahna. I bought them and only noticed they were Pacu when I put them in the tank. They were 1 inch long, as were the pirahna. In 9 months they were 14 inches and the pirahna were 3 inches. Fastest growing fish I have ever seen. Sold them to a guy with a 4000 gal pond.

Don't forget space to swim. After dropping my 2 in a 600+ gallon outdoor pond they grew that additional 4 inches. And yes, they ate like pigs.

oh yea. im awaiting throwing these guys into their what should be 2,000g tank this summer. im sure their going to hit another small growth spurt.
 
Our pacu was 40+ pounds when he died...and I'm sure his growth spurt was due to eating his favorite food - Milk Bones!!
